Aros does seem to be getting stronger all the time. It certainly has a much stronger following now than it did a year ago. I have downloaded the Aros Max LiveCD and played with it a few times on my laptop, but since Amiga software won't run on it, that massively limits it's usefulness. It is a new platform in itself as opposed to MorphOS or AmigaOS4 which both have varying degrees of built-in 68k and PPC binary compatibility.
Personally I'm still hoping MorphOS gets the success it deserves. Technologically, it is still the most advanced of any of the other alternatives. It is an incredible piece of work from some of the most talented and knowledgable people in the Amiga's recent history.
Realistically, though, I think the future of the Amiga is in a brand for selling PDA games and 30-somethings playing SWOS and Lemmings in UAE for nostalgia. :-)
